There is need for something that: > > * allows endusers to schedule things to run arbitrary snippets of code at > specified times or intervals (with their privileges); (using crontabs is a > convenience bonus, not a requirement) > * does not rely on a single non-redundant daemon (no SPOF); and > * does not rely on a complex infrastructure or set of dependencies (like an > entire cluster manager system). I'm reminded a little of [[Sun Grid Engine]], which the Toolserver used to use. I'd suggest writing an [[mw:RFC]] with hard and soft requirements: Bugzilla feels like the wrong forum to suss out requirements. As Ryan L. and Faidon have suggested, it's possible something like this already exists, though I don't know of anything off-hand. Rather than starting from scratch, I wonder whether, for example, modifying (Vixie) cron to support multiple hosts would make sense. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
